Okay, It didn't show me that there is a photo in the second post.
Thanks, I do, too!The ginger is a kitten? he looks huge.
When I got Betsy I had an issue with getting a cat fixed, but I saw how much she was crying and seemed to be suffering during a heat. Plus when I took her to get fixed the vet found a tumor, so it even saved her life. With Stella I didn't even hesitate.
Hope that Conan and Der Baron (great names) will get along quickly.
I brought Betsy to me, I moved her bed next to coach so I can pet her at night.Thanks, I do, too!
One thing that seemed to keep the river of pee at bay was paying a little extra special attention to Baron. He didn't like to climb in my lap in his usual place, instead going into a sort of exile on the other side of the house. (I have a big house.) So I went to him last evening, and gave him what he appeared to find a really invigorating fondle, and, so far, no new puddle o'pee today.
Ginger is a kitten, and I think he'll be a barbarian when he grows up. I can't get them to pose near each other, so it's not really clear yet.Okay, so the ginger is not a kitten but a big boy ().
There is one thing that I find super funny about Stella (the kitten). She'll walk from the bedroom to the kitchen and from the sofa to the computer table. but she won't go in the center of the living room (unless she's running back to the bedroom). I bring her to the sofa, I never saw her getting there on her own.
That is part of the reason I keep posting. I read a lot of other cat introductions stories here as well.Anyway, Sharkybu it looks like you're making progress.
Keep us apprized. Your lesson will help another and another and another yet to come . . . .
Kittens seriously disturb the equilibrium of older cats. Conan did that, too, and everyone's gradually accepting him, and he's gradually accepting them.So... |We started having more interaction. Stella spends more time out of the bedroom and she played all over the living room today including inside Betsy's bed (in the pic). She was out of the room from 4 A.M. till 9 P.M. but i had to lock her in once so she can eat and use the litterbox uninterrupted. They are still fighting (the pic is a second before Betsy hit her), So I have to intervene a lot, but we had a few sweet moments: they napped on the couch (second pic) and they both sat next to me (one on each side) as I was working on the computer).
My problem now is that although Betsy sometimes sniffs Stella and walks away and sometimes attacks., Stella gets into defense mood every time Betsy is close to her- she makes herself as small as possible, draws back her ears and hisses like crazy. She does it even if Betsy is just walking near her.
Ideas how to calm her down?
